Liberal City's Nightmare Continues to Spiral Out of Control: 'They're Selling -p0 Portland, Oregon, are increasingly selling out and moving to greener

pastures as the Democrat-led city continues to spiral downward due to rising crime, an out-of-control homeless population and economic malaise.

Portland is in such bad shape that business owners have been closing up shop and selling at a loss just to get out of the place, according to one business owner who spoke to Fox News.

“We have people all around us that are making the decision to turn around and leave,” said Jim Rice, the owner of Portland’s The Fields Bar & Grill.

“They’re selling their places literally at a loss just to be able to get out of Portland. They’ve lost faith in the local government,” he said.

Rice also said crime is forcing a lot of business owners to quit the city.

“Our business has been burglarized five times in the last year,” Rice told Fox. “U.S. Outdoor, which is only maybe about six blocks from us, they have been burglarized 17 times. They finally had to close their doors because they just could not afford being burglarized as many times as they are.”

Rice added that another fellow merchant closed his outlet because his insurance could not cover his losses from repeated burglaries.

The homeless population in Portland is growing out of control… Homeless moving in taking over, blocking stores and access neighborhoods! Wondering why the city’s leadership and Real Estate Expects never noticed a problem in the making!

For the past two years, families living near the corner of Northeast 125th Place and Shaver Street have had to share their lawns with a homeless encampment.

Residents told KGW that homeless individuals in their quiet neighborhood, nestled between three schools and rows of cornfields, have refused services from the city.

“They just spread their crap out. It’s a different bunch of junk every year, every day,” neighbor James Eveland said of the camp.

He said the camp moved in nearly two years ago and never left.

“It’s frustrating,” added Lisa Dashiell. “I would like a better life for them. I recognize it's their choice but also as a housed citizen in the neighborhood, I also have concerns for my neighbors.”

Reporting the camp to the city has been a weekly chore for Dashiell.

“Oh my word, I would average one to two times a week for two years,” she said.

The neighbors said the camp brought violence, drugs and rodents into the neighborhood.

“The vehicles are increasing. It started with one storage vehicle that was a pickup. Then there was another car that was moved in that was packed full of storage. Then there was a car that comes and goes. Now there’s a utility trailer,” said Dashiell.

“They cover up the sidewalk and people can’t walk by,” added Eveland.

KGW tried talking with those who live at the camp, but no one was there Thursday morning. Neighbors said the city has come out to offer them resources, but they turned them down.

Last week, the city received 3,389 new reports of campsites similar to the one in this neighborhood. They documented 372 sites, cleaned up garbage from one and removed 54. During that process, they spoke to 708 homeless people and offered shelter to 30. Twenty-five of them accepted.

“There needs to be a step further than that,” said Dashiell. “As far as if you’re choosing not to move, then these are your other choices — and it’s not here on the street.”

“We worked all our lives for what little I’ve got. I’ve busted my fanny for more than 50 feakin’ years, I don’t take a dole from anybody. These people are just mooching off it,” said Eveland.

Residents living near the camp at NE 125th Place and Shaver Street said homeless individuals living there have refused help from the city.
